Disney Prepping Live Action "Cruella de Vil" Film

[Scarlet Spider]

I'm here for Emma.

 

[Marvolo]

Emma Stone looks too pretty for this role

Cruella in her prime, and Cruella in her mid life. Seems fine to me. As for the cartoon, she was the antagonist towards cute pups so she needed to be ugly. Emma's Cruella is the protagonist and audiences don't want to spend 2 hours with an ugly hag protagonist.

The complete lack of smoking in this film set in 70s is going to stick out like a sore thumb.

 

[Boy Scout]

This doesn’t look good IMO. I think Stone is a good actress, but I feel like she was miscast for this. Her accent sounded horrible to me.

 

[Prison Mike]

It might be nostalgia talking but I don’t think anyone can beat Glen Close’s performance.

Is she allowed to smoke?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Her smoking is a huge thing. At the very least, she better do it in her final scene when she's "evil".

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

And another Disney villain potentially tainted with a lame and soapy back story, like Maleficent was.
Someone said E.Stone is too pretty, I agree, that's the first thing that popped in my mind. She is also too likable.

Anyways, I'm not part of the target audience.

That’s because she knew how to camp it up without being campy

That’s hot

Didn't Disney ban smoking in their films?

 

[DarkKnight88]

No wonder she goes crazy then! She’s getting that nicotine withdrawal!

Damn that scared me as a kid

Not sure what the rule is. In Saving Mr. Banks, we see that Walt Disney is a smoker and putting out a cigarette, but we never actually see him smoke onscreen. So maybe they will cheat a bit with it?

Ugh, I forgot about that. I don't even think it's necessary for the character, but their Zero Tolerance ban is just... so unspeakably dumb. Like, **** history, we can't let Little Tommy see a cigarette, heaven forbid his parents have to actually parent.

 

[writer0327]

I'm gonna give it a chance, but this first trailer didn't land like it needed to.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

 

[#root]

That definitely makes it look very fun. And I’m loving the costumes .

 

[Albright]

Interesting: it just says 5/28/21
Not if it’s theatrical or Disney plus (premiere access) - or both

 

[Prison Mike]

I’m leaning toward theaters only

 

[Albright]

I don’t think so - thats why they don’t say: 28/5/21 in theaters

 

[Prison Mike]

They’re keeping their options open but I think it will end up being just in theaters

 

[Albright]

thats not possible - a lot of theaters will be closed when it‘ll be released in May.

I live in germany and we still have that same lockdown since December - with numbers increasing again

 

[Closerframe]

This trailer was better than the first for me. It really shows how they’re going to capture her villainy which seems more in line with someone trying to shack up the fashion industry.

 

[Asr]

That trailer makes me want to see Emma Stone play a villain in a serious movie even more than I already did. And I'm not talking about in a CBM or a comedy either. No I mean in like a totally serious drama or quasi-action/drama movie (i.e. not too unlike a thriller or Bond-esque movie).

It's clear she had a blast with the role and I genuinely want to see her cut loose in a mature R-rated movie to see what she can really do.

 

[samsnee]

She’s giving her best “Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman” vibe
